The 'Men's Tournament Most Outstanding Player' quiz

Three-point shooting has dominated all levels of basketball over the last decade-plus, but fans of the big-man game will want to tune in to the NCAA men's championship game on Monday night. 

There, they will see Purdue's 7'4'' Zach Edey leading the Purdue Boilermakers against 7'2'' Donovan Clingan of UConn in what should be an "epic" matchup. Edey has been the best overall college player on the men's side over the last two seasons, while Clingan is hoping to help UConn become the first men's team to go back-to-back since Florida pulled off the feat in the middle of the 00s. The festivities tip-off at 9:20 ET on TBS. 

Which brings us to today's quiz of the day. At the conclusion of March Madness, the NCAA hands out the Most Outstanding Player Award to the best player from that year's tournament, with Clingan or Edey likely to take home the award this year, depending on who wins. So with that in mind, how many since 1979 on the men's side can you name in six minutes?

Good luck!
